I'm not replying to start a debate with Dennis_, but I'd like to say, as a vet myself, that any appreciation, however big or small, is appreciated.

He didn't, he left it at a gas station so it's finder would use it and lead the investigators astray. It's later in the article. The author seems to think this was a good ruse, but I think I disagree; if I were an investigator, I think any

My apologies for being slow on the uptake, but is there an analogy here or is this just a simple pun?

Thanks for responding with these! I share your interest in computer history, and I also enjoy seeing, as best I can, computer culture. Never have I seen such a short summarization of the latter which has given me as much insight as this.

I agree with you much on how much this makes sense for music as a business. I don't lament the death of the album though, because I don't think this will be the death of the album, this will be a filter. Many albums today are no more than a

I could picture this comment chain almost as soon as the story was posted. I'm with Ardit20, had anyone else posted the story, it would have been dismissed as a rant, but when people see sethgodin.typepad.com, it becomes a valuable insight

I guess I'm going to go a little bit activist here, but this story makes me think that strategically, now is a good time for people who believe more things should be in the public domain. As media companies and publishers do what they can t

This may sound absolutely absurd, but why does copying music have to be justified?

...not all people, and not even all smart people, devote much time to examining evidence and making sure that conclusions are supported by evidence. I'm extremely guilty of this, and it bothers me. But what bothers me more is knowing how

Yes! Thank you for capturing more of what I could feel in my gut, but could not bring to words when composing my comment. I don't think that anyone at Google set out to be evil. But power corrupts and the legal systems and governments have

I'm not sure if I like implications of a web-centric OS, especially when its producer is as rich and powerful as Google. I see the market for it, and I think it will be a huge benefit for the average user. However, I see the transition from

I think you're right about the fact that they're not the problem; I should have chosen my words more carefully. I also admit that I am by no means an expert on these issues. I do believe, however, that they are a problem, and in some pl

We didn't stop creating solar panels, but we didn't mandate their use either. I can't speak for anyone else on the site, but my negativity comes from feeling that in the U.S., ethanol isn't about innovation, it's about politics. Also, I'm n

The highest bid does win every time, if you realize that a bid in this situation constitutes more than just price. Price is one way to motivate a seller to perform a service for you. In this case, another way is to have a great site to matc

I sometimes think and feel like the fact that everyone is on there is a weakness of the site. Turning down friend requests from work acquaintances and family members is a bad move socially, but accepting those requests has forced me to cens
